On Feb. 24, 2024, at around 4:50 pm, Sicamous RCMP received a report of a shooting in the parking lot of the Best Western hotel along the Trans-Canada Highway.

Upon arrival, police found 38-year-old Matthew Monteith deceased in the parking lot of the hotel.

At the time of the incident, police asked that anyone who saw a black Mercedes G-Wagon fleeing the hotel after the shooting and going westbound on Hwy 1 to come forward and share what they had seen.
